- Track pedals with metal toe clips
- panaracer Pasella tires (i think 1.25")
- Front wheel: either a used double wall or new single
- Back: Formula hub + sun M13II rim
- cloud 9 gel seat
- cross brake
- 42 x 16 gear ratio
Is this worth it?
*and by ordered i mean they are going to put it together by nov 8.
whether or not it's worth it is up to you. it's not the same value (or knowledge) you could get by putting together your own bike, but it'll certainly be a nice, reliable ride (with some decent components). have fun!
